Our Process
How Pilotcore Can Prepare You for CPCSC Certification
Assess
Gap Analysis Against ITSP.10.171
The first deliverable is a board-ready ITSP.10.171 gap report, prioritised remediation roadmap, and budget concrete enough to brief leadership before any major spend. Actual technical evaluation of your systems, policies, and procedures, not a generic questionnaire.
- Prioritised roadmap of missing ITSP.10.171 controls
- Implementation complexity and realistic timeline
- Board-ready budget presentation
Implement
Technical Control Implementation
We implement the actual technical controls required by CPCSC: network segmentation, access controls, encryption, logging, and incident response systems.
- Working configurations your team can maintain
- Architecture diagrams and runbooks
- Evidence automation workflows
Document
Policies, Procedures & SSP
We create your CPCSC System Security Plan (SSP), cybersecurity policies, and operational procedures aligned to common C3PAO expectations and your implemented controls. Customised documentation, not templates.
- Complete CPCSC SSP mapped to ITSP.10.171
- Cybersecurity program policies and procedures
- Evidence artifacts ready for assessment
Rehearse
Mock Assessment & Team Training
A Pilotcore-run mock CPCSC assessment surfaces remaining gaps before your official evaluation. We train your team on maintaining compliance and responding to assessor questions. Pilotcore is not a C3PAO; the official assessment is run by an SCC-accredited C3PAO.
- Mock assessment report with gap remediation
- Trained team confident in assessor Q&A
- PSPC portal submission support
No Black Box Consulting
Before any official CPCSC assessment, you will know what is missing, what changed, what evidence exists, and what your team still owns. If our agreed preparation work is not clear enough for your team to maintain or explain, we keep working until it is. Conditions: timely access to systems and staff, agreed staffing on your side throughout the engagement, no material scope change beyond the documented baseline, and decisions made within agreed review windows. The official CPCSC assessment is conducted by an SCC-accredited C3PAO and we make no claim about its outcome.
Why Pilotcore for CPCSC
Canadian defence expertise your C3PAO will recognise
CPCSC implementation requires deep understanding of ITSP.10.171, PSPC processes, and Canadian defence procurement. We bridge the gap between cybersecurity controls and contract readiness.
- CCP + CISSP certified lead.
- Publicly verifiable credentials from recognised certification bodies.
- Infrastructure as Code.
- Terraform modules, not spreadsheets. Controls you can version, audit, and redeploy across environments.
- Dual-track CPCSC + CMMC.
- Shared control implementation can reduce duplicate effort across PSPC and DoD programs, depending on contract scope and assessor interpretation.
- Knowledge transfer, not lock-in.
- Your team owns the runbooks, playbooks, and IaC modules after delivery. We coach, not gatekeep.
